Bitcoin Oscillation, MPESA's 50 Million Milestone
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on September 10, 2021, 7:12 PMIt takes a real heart to watch these charts. Bitcoin holdlers are fighting gravity right now. I am still waiting for mobile money operators in Africa to integrate BTC. M-Pesa which just hit an active user base of 50 million could push this cryptocurrency higher by looking at the acceptance in Africa’s young people. Of course, I will hope that MPESA creates one that is uniquely African.
Speaking on the recent milestone achievement, Sitoyo Lopokoiyit, the M-Pesa Africa managing director, said, “14 years ago, we launched M-Pesa to connect our customers to each other and to different opportunities. We are delighted to celebrate this remarkable milestone with our more than 50 million customers across the continent.”
